It always has been Lugia for me. I bought Pokemon Silver specifically for Lugia, I stuck with Soul Silver for Lugia. I have always liked the color Silver more than Gold (Huge San Antonio Spurs fan here btw). It just looked cooler, did cooler things in my mind.
Plus when Ho-Oh came out I remember thinking it was so incredibly ugly, and it looked like a Phoenix to me. I already had a Phoenix, it was called Moltres. So I went with what was fresh and new, and popular at the time incidentally.

My first game was Silver, but I've always liked Ho-oh. I remember seeing his GSC game sprite in the guide book as a kid and thinking it's way cooler than Lugia. Then seeing his 3D sprite in Stadium 2 and Colosseum made me instantly prefer him over Lugia.

Lugia is simply amazing, it's the best legendary Pokémon they could make.
Aeroblast looks cooler than Sacred Fire too. Ahah, when I got Gold I didn't even know I could still catch it, I realized that years later!

This is such an easy choice for me, Lugia all the way. Hence my name (and former name, used to be Aeroblast on here way back when GSC first came out, but no idea what my password is 8+ years later)

Lugia was my favorite pokemon next to the 3 kanto starters when I was young. The design was just too cool, the front sprite of Lugia in Silver was just... perfect, Aeroblast was just too cool in GSC. Lugia was the first pokemon I ever trained to level 100, and also my first ever shiny pokemon (besides red gyrados).

Lugia will forever have a place as my favorite pokemon, even if it were weak with useless stats.

I've always LOVED Lugia, and will never hate it. Ho-oh, on the other hand, is pretty regular. A bird that has feathers of a rainbow... not so interesting... Lugia, a something-idk whatsit that has feathers glowing when it's mad or a thunderstorm is gonna happen? Cool! I'd say, Lugia is much better cause of it's silver wings and it is a Female (not really just I saw Pokemon TV and one episode showed Ash and the Lugia mother with (her/its) baby. Lol)

I prefer Ho-oh competitively and by it's looks. Ho-oh is a freaking rainbow turkey that can fly and fart rainbows. What's cooler then that? Lugia looks beastly but has always been exaggerated greatly by anime. Competitively Ho-oh has a large Stealth Rock weakness but is still seen commonly in the Ubers. Who would win? I agree that Lugia would win but not the way you think. Lugia is not a sweeper and Hydro Pump/Waterfall has no place on Lugia's move slots. Lugia will win because it is faster and it will get Substitute up and begin to Toxic stall Ho-oh. But overall I like Ho-oh better.

The Ho-Oh vs Lugia debate was actually how I chose between Gold and Silver in my youth. Ho-Oh has always looked more feminine to me, being a bright, rainbowy happy chicken of fluffiness, while Lugia always struck me as being a mysterious, almighty dragon of justice.

That's how I saw it when I was 9, at least.

Regardless, to this day, I love Lugia. Ho-Oh just seems to have too much going on. Lugia is simple, yet bad-butt.

I really like both. Ho oh looks so powerful yet not evil. Lugia looks so majestic. Both signature moves are awesome too ( aeroblast and sacred fire, respectively). Most duos since have had one legend far better than the other. But ho-oh and lugia are both equal to me.

The almighty Turtwig is my claim
